Creating Opportunity From Thin Air

“You’re like

that Peaky Blinder

Tommy Shelby,”

creating opportunity

from I don’t where

 

There

was our first home

without a garage

 

You know,

no there

there.

 

You could not hammer a nail.

Yet,

there

appeared a new garage there:

plus an entry way,

a new bedroom

and family room

there.

 

A lot of there there

 

That’s your talent,

creating opportunity

hatched

from what seems to be

only thin air.

 

With five children,

you quit your job in search

of new opportunity

out there.

 

Then you show up

with a lot of money

and said, “there.”

 

“There

will be

more money coming

from out there,”

you said.

 

“But from where?”

I asked.

 

“From where

does

this money

come? Where

is out there?”

 

“Out there,”

you said,

motioning

with your arm and finger pointing

straight out into the

air.

 

And so it’s been.

There’s

been a lot of opportunity

created from

thin air.
